Figure Drawing Intensive

Immerse yourself in drawing in an afternoon or full day of drawing with a dynamic and popular teacher who will bring out your best. Using any media, draw from a live model and see the subject and your own work in new ways and with new inspiration.

The July sections give you the chance to draw for an entire weekend (actually one day or both, your choice).

Beginners and seasoned artists alike have enjoyed these intensive workshops with Robert Siegelman.
